Movement: Can I increase the range of units?

You could edit the export_descr ancillaries file in the data folder. Pick an ancillary such as seamaster, shipwright, etc and edit its effects. Example-
Ancillary seamaster
Image 1107.tga
Description seamaster_desc
EffectsDescription seamaster_effects_desc
Effect NavalCommand 2
to
Ancillary seamaster
Image 1107.tga
Description seamaster_desc
EffectsDescription seamaster_effects_desc
Effect NavalCommand 2
Effect MovementPoints 10
You can change the value from 1-10 until you find the area of movement you prefer. Then, scroll down to the triggers section and adjust like so from-
Trigger trigger_seamaster
WhenToTest NewAdmiralCreated
Condition SettlementBuildingExists >= dockyard

AcquireAncillary seamaster chance 20
to
Trigger trigger_seamaster
WhenToTest CharacterTurnEnd
Condition FactionType seleucid
and RemainingMPPercentage <= 100
and IsAdmiral

AcquireAncillary navigator chance 100

Be sure to change the faction name accordingly. If you want all factions to have it then just change the original trigger description to <= dockyard and chance 100 and voila! Hope this helps.

Brilliant.
One last question.

Would it be save game compatible?

Yes, as far as I am aware but I could be wrong. I am certain it will work on a new campaign and saves thereafter. Just be sure to use the correct EB-vanilla faction. Ie; Romani=seleucid.
